How-to: Fix a Slow Internet Connection in Ubuntu 7.10

[tizza2k]

when i type in `sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases` it opens up the alias window but the window is completely blank, there is no list lol???

[shevareedhi123]

when i first got my internet connection, i downloaded gta san andreas and it only took 3 hrs to download, i'm downloading it again because of an error and it's taking 36 hrs, plz help!!!

[greneditto]

i don't have even 1 alias.. ?.?

[saikrishna122]

it says command not found

[sarvelaj]

My connection speed says its running at 150 Mbps which is pretty damn fast, and normally these vids buffer in less than 10 seconds, but the last few weeks i have to pause a vid for like a minute before i can watch it and tonight its unbearable. I can reset my modems and router in a certain order that fixes the problem for about a week, but it always comes back...any solutions?

[DeathToTheseWalls]

Just tried this in Ubuntu 10.10 hoping it would work. The file this opens was empty. You wouldn't happen to know the Ubuntu Maverick equivalent of this fix, would you?

[BSupermo]

My Internet connection is to slow to watch this

[dragonster82]

There's nothing at my aliases lol

[NikolaGB]

Does this work for 10.10???

[McMIxTER]

[TheLittleShits]

I disabled ipv6 in firefox, but there is no aliases for 10.10 , so slowwwwww internet, btw im watching this on windows 7 thats how i got to this web page.

[DARTHZANRUIT]

my box comes up with nothing.

[watwatrobel]

Can u put the instructions or what ever in the description. My Internet is acting to slow to watch it

[kona680]

Does disabling IPV6 affect your computer or the internet in any way?

[nerdyandwack]

does anyone know where they have a video to fix linux mint 7 or does it work the same way?

[zzurrien]

Linux Mint is based of Ubuntu so yes, it will work the same way.

I'm assuming he's using Compiz to zoom? When I zoom the cursor remains the same size. I'm forced to use the spinning fire to figure out where the cursor is at, since I cannot live without the magnification. How can I get my cursor to enlarge with the rest of the screen like that? I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 as a VM in VMWare Fusion, which won't work, and as a Wubi install on my Micro PC & Mac which are both running Windows 7 as the host, which will work.

@mattuiop

nice comment dude.

[dounutt32]

Thanks for your post. Sadly, this did not work for me and internet connection is slower than dial up.

[Nanotech233]

Rich isn't this the same as typing "about:config" on the firefox browser address bar and then double clicking on what you just said to disable it?
